Celebrity Alien Encounters

Anne Heche

Anne Heche has been very open about her belief in aliens, especially Celestia, the actresses' alien alter ego. "In the fourth dimension, which is where Celestia was from, there was no hatred," Heche penned in her book "Call Me Crazy." "Everyone was equal there. There was no color, no race, and no creed distinction. In fact, there was no gender distinction. It was a world of Gods where everyone was everything they wanted to be. There was complete acceptance and understanding there."

The actress claims it was Celestia who overtook her body in the days following her split from Ellen DeGeneres, causing her infamous breakdown. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff

While supposedly filming fruit bats in the botanic gardens outside his office in Sydney, Australia, "Les Mis" star Russell Crowe got a lot more than he bargained for — a UFO. Maybe.

Crowe tweeted a YouTube video of his sighting with the caption, "UFO? Time Lapse Photos Outside RC's Woolloomooloo Office (THESE ARE REAL!)." The video shows a red, glowing rectangle as it moves across the screen with what appears to be an illuminated reflection or spotlight beneath it. Has the actor found proof of life on another planet, or a very unique breed of fruit bat? —XFINITY Entertainment Staff

"The Nanny" star Fran Drescher's voice isn't her only unique attribute. The actress also has an odd childhood tale: She believes aliens visited her as a kid and left a tracking device in her hand.

"You know, it's funny because Peter (Drescher's ex-husband) and I both saw [aliens] before we knew each other, doing the same thing, driving on the road with our dads," Drescher told a reporter from The Huffington Post. "We were both in junior high. A few years later, we met, and we realized that we had the same experience. I think that somehow we were programmed to meet. We both have this scar. It's the exact same scar on the exact same spot." —XFINITY Entertainment Staff

Tom Cruise is a huge proponent of Scientology, so it should come as no surprise that he believes there are extraterrestrial beings out there. "Yes, of course. Are you really so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe?" the actor told Bild, a German magazine. "Millions of stars, and we're supposed to be the only living creatures? No, there are many things out there, we just don't know." —XFINITY Entertainment Staff

William Shatner's time as Captain Kirk on "Star Trek" taught him one thing: There is definitely life beyond Earth. "There is no doubt that there is life out there; the mathematics of it lead you to that absolute conclusion," Shatner told the Montreal Gazette. "In my mind, there is no doubt that the universe teems – teems! – with life in all its forms. But why they would come visit here and not let themselves be known to everybody is beyond my sense of logic." —XFINITY Entertainment Staff

Van Halen rocker Sammy Hagar also claims he was visited by aliens. "[Aliens] were plugged into me. It was a download situation. This was long before computers or any kind of wireless.

Or they uploaded something from my brain, like an experiment." —XFINITY Entertainment Staff

We're still waiting on that info, Jimmy. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff
